>>636075

>>636101
Not that hard. Including the extra weight and -1 acc, it's only a -5 to it's roll. Which isn't too bad if the enemy is at -4 or -5. I can even make the rock one handed if I don't make it throwing.

...But before you go see the Undefeated, you've got another thing to deal with. The pet store has that faint scent of animal feed and cleaning agents that they all seem to have. The air is full of the low murmur of birds singing to each other and the bubbling of fishtanks. Sometimes, you're a little shocked by how...normal...Auditorium is, but then again, it's all Bahamutcorp's fault. A few years ago they started a big media campaign to convince people that downloading Red Siren's music really does make you a criminal. She responded by kidnapping a reporter (not Gretchen) and cheerfully announcing on air that all of her fans deserved to consider themselves pirates and were welcome to join her crew. The middle-aged, slightly dumpy woman with cheaply dyed red hair behind the counter certainly doesn't fit your expectations of a pirate...but Rosita is Rosita, and she'll always do things her way.

Clemmy's ruffled maid skirt swishes around her knees as she wanders around, peering into cages and poking her nose against the glass of the fishtanks trying to see everything. Then she spots something along one wall and dashes over.

"EEEEEEE! Roarke, Roarke! Look, it's a tiny little bear! A little bear that can sit on my hand!" Clemmy pokes the glass, where a small, chubby rodent is contentedly munching on a sunflower seed. It tucks the seed into its cheek, and waddles forward, sniffing the glass where her fingertip is touching it, "The itty-bitty baby bear likes me, see? Wookit his widdle noooose!" She coos. Some people might find the sight of the Butcher squealing over tiny rodents disturbing, perhaps, but you're that superior breed of human that appreciates dangerous women being adorable, so you put your arm around her and take a closer look at it.

"That's a hamster." You note.

She wrinkles her nose in imitation of the tiny rodent, "It's a bear, it looks just like one but small."

You tap the label on the enclosure, "I'm pretty sure it's a rodent and bears aren't rodents. You can tell by the shape of the teeth."

She frowns at the label...and then her shoulders slump. There's a price tag on the label too, and from the look on her face it's well out of the reach of a hardworking maid cafe part-timer no matter how many tips she extorts out of Yoritomo's customers.

"You've been working hard, haven't you?" You mention offhandedly.

"Well...yeah, but..." Clemmy looks away, embarrassed.

"Will you promise to feed it and take care of it?" You inquire innocently.

She puffs up her cheeks, "I'm twenty-five years old, of course I can do that. It's good practice for when I have your babies."

You're skeptical about whether caring for a human infant and caring for a hamster are remotely similar, but you smile and call the shopkeep over. Over the next several minutes, you and Clemmy select a proper play enclosure for the little creature, which resembles a castle of brightly colored plastic piping, pay for it, and pay more to have it transported to the ship. You attach a note for Karen, this seems like the sort of thing she'd enjoy putting together. You also get a nigh-impervious plasteel ball with airholes in it that reminds you oddly of a cockpit pod, to carry the hamster around in. You suggest sending the hamster back to the Rhinehawk too, but Clemmy is adamant on keeping him with her and carrying him around in the ball while she comes up with a name.

A cool breeze meanders along the glittering surface of the lake and ruffles your long hair. Clemmy looks at you and smiles as the two of you walk through town, her new hamsterball with the hamster riding inside snuggled tight against her chest.

You catch her expression, and reflexively wipe your mouth, "Is there something on my face?"

She shakes her head quickly, "I just like looking at you."

"Ah, that's good. I like looking at you too." You feel like you could have said something more cool, there, but she seems quite happy and it's hard to think of much else with her this close to you, smiling like that and standing so close to you, "We're going to meet my teacher. Remember to be polite, okay?"

She wrinkles her nose again, "What's that word for when a cheeky pirate tells a special operations girl to behave properly? Irony, right?"

"Behave and you'll get to see me break a giant boulder in half." You lift your shades enough to wink at her.

Her eyes go wide, "Really!? That's awesome! Yes! I'll record it and show everybody!"

You stop her from getting out her PC, "Wait, wait. Don't go and message the others until I've actually done it. I might fail, after all." You're still not sure HOW you did what you did to the Anseis, but you're confident that if you do your best and hit it with all your strength it will crumble.

You make your way out of town, talking about everything and nothing. She tells funny stories about her time in SOUL, you tell funny stories about your time as an apprentice Kestrel. You feel an unexpected stab of sadness when she mentions, quite innocently, that it was your older brother who suggested the foot-mounted beam sabers on her mech. As you make your way to the cabin, the two of you share memories of Cassius Cosimo Cavalier Starwind.

Finally, though, the cabin looms before you. Smoke is rising from the chimney, and through the window you can see the Undefeated moving around inside. You knock on the door.

"Come in!" He calls out.

“Master! Master, I'm back! I rescued Fatima, defeated a Paladin and stole her ship, and now I'm getting married!” You push open the door, Clemmy peering around as she follows you into the Undefeated's cabin.

“Roarke! So you did it, huh? Good!” He peers closely at Clemmy, putting the picture on the mantlepiece face-down, “She doesn't look much like her picture on JNN. Are you Fatima Ahmad, young woman?”

And then Clemmy does something you didn't expect. Her heels click smartly together, her arm forms a precise angle with the fingertips at her brow, and she barks out, “Alice Clementine Farragut, former Lieutenant of SOUL Squad B. I'm Roarke's wife, sir!”

You stare at her. She gives you a sidelong look as if surprised you're surprised, then says quietly, “Roarkey, he's obviously a former officer. He's got the voice and he reminds me of my grandpa, they appreciate proper manners y'know.”

Question: How old is the mech technology? Did they get invented in the war to ocunter the greenman bioexosuits?

I wonder why it always take so long for people to show up?

>>636510
Pretty much, and I don't think it was a clean line. I can see a lot of early mechs being clunky or heavy before they realized the extra bulk would get in the way of the movements of the pilot.

>>636525
Well for one thing it always starts around 2 in the morning for me.

>>636525
Because no notice on say like twitter and relys on folks passing by qst and seeing MSPQ being live.

>>636548
because sometimes there's a vote where I'm okay with either outcome, or I think the vote is completely pointless and/or there can only really be one outcome (The hamster vote, for example. of course we were going to buy the damn thing.)

>>636510
>>636527

Yes. During the War, the Green Men had an advantage because their mentally-controlled bio-armor could respond as quickly and instinctively as a human body (mostly). Imagine trying to dodge in a tank the way you could in your own body, for example. The Confederacy of United Star Systems was already dying by the time the Solar System rolled out the first proper mecha, and the CUSS was gone completely by the time the Solar System realized that, in the fact of all conventional wartime wisdom and /k/ shitposting on /m/ that the bipedal humanoid frame really was the most responsive with the new HMIS neural interface technology.

If that's too much to go into, though, there's actually a gundam parallel, and for once Iron Blooded Orphans is useful for something. One of the (many drastically underused) points in the show is that a bunch of orphans who can reflex-control their mecha are capable of standing up to Gjallarhorn aces using an old-fashioned control system with joysticks and pedals and shit, and season 1's final boss is a boy whose brain has been directly linked to the controls of his mobile suit. Another example of a system similar to the HMIS, albeit more gruesome, is the Psycho Zaku from Thunderbolt. In fact, early versions of the HMIS were tested on cripples and amputees, the technology had originally been meant for prosthetics, but by the Floyd Beck & Rudolph Merrow era (and consequently true for Roarke as well) the HMIS had had most of the bugs worked out. The modern HMIS is a set of electrode pads on the brow and temple parts of your helmet's interior. This is why the SOUL C boys are wearing pilot suits even during planetary combat.

So in a way, it's less that mecha were developed to counter the Green Men and their bio-armor, and more that the HMIS was developed to counter the Green Men's instinctive connection with their suits, and then mecha were built to most optimally employ the HMIS.

Incidentally, when Lady Maria appeared on vidcomm and emerged from her Berenger, she wasn't wearing a helmet, and presumably didn't have one on during combat either.

>>636591
She wasn't using HMIS? Wow. She's either telepathic or was taking Amos far to lightly

>>636548

Because Twitter is cancerous to human society and encourages humans to argue about complex issues through smug 140-character one-liners that are intellectually void. It's also chosen to take a side politically, so I will not even risk giving them a penny of revenue through viewing their ads or something. Generally speaking, I dislike social media. I only have one email, which I gather is required for twitter, and I'd rather not have any bridges between who I am online and who I am offline.

>>636607
Or, you know, she was organically linked to her mech.

>>636591
That does make sense and that makes the Paladins a bit scarier. Thought controlled machines are pretty strong. Incidentally, does the Pawn serve as a early mecha example? Figured someone would have to do the dirty job of making sure not a inch of greenman tech was left unburned.

>>636510
As far I can tell, the HMIS existed b4 the Great Sidereal War. But it was the War that turned it from a potentially dead-end tech to the weapon of choice of the XXth century.

>>636607

The HMIS was designed in labs across the solar system, while the Berenger was built using aspects of Solar technology but crafted with the aesthetic, mindset, and core technology of the Lady at its heart. One could say that the Berenger is a more "pure" Avalonian machine than the Anseis, which incorporates more Solar technology into its design. Yes, this means that the Anseis' drill bits are an Avalonian redesign of a solar design, and that Clemmy and Karen were trying to turn that into a Solar redesign of an Avalonian redesign of a Solar design before Karen decided it would be smarter just to dig up the original Solar design and use that.

>>636634
Well, the original thoroughbred did have the Colt system with its beam gun bits, so it makes sense.

>>636632

Ironically, the CUSS trying to shut the solar system out and keep it as an antiquated backwater is part of the reason why people there were still using prosthetics (which the HMIS was originally intended for) while the more fashionable parts of the CUSS would just regrow and flesh-sculpt new parts for you, technology that the Green Men were in large part responsible for.

If you traced it, it would go Thoroughbred X -> Megabass Mobile Army System (at which point the Avalonians went "holy shit we need to replicate this ASAP") -> Paladin Anseis & its pilot Loriette Marie le Kennedy -> Karen's upgraded Knuckle Kaiser Mk. II and S-Flowerhorn Mk. II.

>>636647
the Green Men where Martian, Right? seem counterproductive to design mind altering ubermensch on a planet that you want to remain irrelevant.

>>636649
wait, how did Bahamutcorp get their hands on BHI's C.O.L.T system?

>>636649
Is Megabass really big or does it just need a lot of maintenance because I got confused about that.

>>636650
Well, like all cancers to society, first they starts off in some rinky dink place on the outskirts of society, make it big, head to somewhere important, and then through a mix of booze, drugs, pride, and bad decisions, proceed to screw things up for a lot of people everywhere.

The Undefeated strokes his mustache, “Even if I was, I'm retired now. At ease, Farragut.” He gestures at her and she drops the salute. He glances at you, “...I'd pretend to be surprised at how many women you're involved with, boy, but I saw your announcement on JNN. I don't envy the burden you're going to carry, but I respect you for shouldering it.” The old man picks up his coffee cup and takes a sip.

“Master, I had some sort of epiphany during the duel, I think I'm ready to try to break the boulder again. I can do it this time.” You clench your fist, your blood raging volcanic with fiery determination.

The Undefeated sets down his coffee, wipes his mustache with a napkin, and looks at you closely. It's not a reproving look, or an approving look either, it's not even judging. He seems completely neutral. “I saw it on the news. Believe me Roarke, I'm proud of your progress. If I was your age, I would feel the same way. However...you're not the first pupil I've trained, and that's why I can't let you go. You would die. You might very well succeed, but you would assuredly die in the process.” He takes another sip of his coffee, “Prepare yourself, training is going to be more intense than usual today.”

What's additionally ironic is that early on there was some indication that the Martian Green Men wanted to stay the fuck out of the War and be left alone, until it was discovered that they'd been quietly sporing the populations of the major cities and introducing the stuff into the atmosphere.

It's an anti-planet weapon, so it's quite large.

>>636661

Excellent question! In fact, it's so excellent that I'll answer it in-character.

"Corporate theft, Roarke." Karen smiles cutely, wiping machine oil off her nose with your sleeve, "Floyd Beck designed the Colt System and built the Colts himself, back when most pilots were also mechanics and much of this was experimental. He never turned over his actual designs to Bucephalus, the Thoroughbred X model was his personal tune-up and customization of the frame they'd given him. Unfortunately, the Colts were destroyed when Thoroughbred X was. Bahamutcorp then outspent Bucephalus and kissed the right government asses and was able to reverse-engineer the system first. It probably helped that they had Floyd's best friend working for them, I hear he's really rich and retired now. Oh well, at least I have his King Swordfish's new specs in the Rhinehawk's computers~"

"Because you're exactly the kind of man who can achieve total oneness of self and the universe and strike with exactly the right amount of pressure at exactly the right point when he's putting his life on the line showing off for a pretty girl." Your teacher responds bluntly. "Ironically, when you haven't been pushed to that extreme, you're more likely to get hurt."

"I don't understand." You wish you did, but this is like hearing Yoritomo talk about two-dimensional Platonic ideals of womanhood. It clearly has some kind of internal logic that you just don't have the mental lens to comprehend.

The Undefeated nods, looking completely unsurprised, “What you experienced is something that martial artists have trained to do as long as there have been martial arts, to strike with complete oneness of self. One of the most classic demonstrations of skill and power is through demonstrations of how much a human being can break in a single blow. Throughout humanity's existence, though, humans have dreamed that it was possible to break things that were fundamentally unbreakable, whether through their own might or some manifestation of human spirit. Having the ability to exert more force on the world than one's fellows is a dream as old as the first demi-ape to pick up a rock and use it to bash another demi-ape's skull in, but few have ever gained that power, and most resort to tricks such as weapons. Unlocking that power is the secret to my style, but simply using it without thought has devastating consequences on the human body. Complete oneness of self is not a natural thing, by nature humans are constantly at odds with themselves, the different voices that make up their personality and determine their destiny all clamoring to be heard. That's why no human being can entirely avoid hypocrisy or self-contradiction, or ever be truly internally consistent. That is the nature of humanity. When one is immersed in the infinite emptiness of the void, however, all is nothing and that nothing itself is singular and ubiquitous. Thus, users of my style can indeed achieve oneness of self, but as I said, there is a cost. Even those who have completely mastered the style can, in moments of spiritual depletion, die from the toll it inflicts on the body. Until you've mastered it, it's like rolling dice every time you use it. The higher you roll, the more power you put out, but if it goes over your own natural limit...that excess will come from you. I've seen it happen, once. To someone I very much loved.”

>>636720

BHI has the absolute worst luck. Losing Floyd Beck screwed them over, then the Thoroughbred MP and Arabian lines go belly-up. The Morgan did well, then Bahamutcorp introduced the Warmouth, which outperformed it, so BHI made the Morgan II which unfortunately rather than blow the Warmouth away instead has competed evenly with it as the default Heavy Striker class Jovian mech since near the end of the war. Their saving grace is that Bahamutcorp never built anything as good as the Garron for its role and consequently never really made a good pure-ranged mech barring ace customs and SOUL mecha. They also control the market for construction machines and mecha, including the Shetland (originally built for disaster relief and repurposed for law enforcement), while Bahamutcorp went into building warships instead. I would add that BHI controlled the Medium Striker market too, for many years, with the Palomino...which is part of the problem with the original Pumpkinseed, it had to dislodge the Palomino completely to get a foothold and failed to do so, but the Pumpkinseed II is a very strong contender and rather than compete directly with it BHI built the Palomino II as a hybrid of the design theory behind the original Palomino line and the Garron line, creating a fast, mobile Medium Striker that can dish out a ton of firepower and is also a subtle middle finger raised to the Terrans for helping Bahamutcorp projects more (including the Tarrasque) because it doesn't use any Project Skywalker technology.

>>636730
so what your saying is, that Roarke can only achieve his full power when the fags controlling his fate stop bitching about waifus and neo-aristocratic skullduggery long enough to vote unanimously on an action, followed by someone (Thunderbird) rolling a 10?

>>636769
It's pretty clear that mecha fighting with it is A-okay.

>>636780
and that the plan isn't to have Roarke break the rock but use it as a weapon

>>636769

Once you've mastered it, you would know whether you would die from using it.

As an aside, who makes the Martian warships? And do they even have battleships or just tons of cruisers? I mean, I assume they could get the old Agamemnon class if they wanted them, but I think those are in mothballs/ in Saturn/Venus's fleets.

"They tried to break the rock before they were ready?" Clemmy hugs her hamster tight, "Roarke, don't you dare do it until your teacher is sure you can, okay? If you die doing something stupid...if you die, I'll..." Her fingernails scratch across the plasteel, "I'll follow you there, too. I'll kill all the gods and drag you back, or stay with you. Either way, we'll be together." She gives you a violent, loving smile.

The Undefeated looks mildly perturbed, "Right. No, she didn't try to break the rock. In fact, she had completely mastered the technique before she became a competent pilot. She used it flawlessly and correctly to destroy her own mech from the inside and save countless lives, knowing that it would cost her her life." He walks over to the mantlepiece, and picks up a photograph. It's not the one he'd unsubtly flipped face-down when you walked in.

Portrayed is a beautiful but stern-looking young woman in old-fashioned UJCIDF combat attire, back when it was a lot more bulky, plain, and ballistics mesh was less advanced.

"She had the love of at least two extremely gallant and talented men, she was an ace pilot, her talent for the martial arts and mecha piloting eventually would have surpassed mine. She was beautiful, strong, and selflessly courageous. Even though I still feel the grief for her loss, I don't regret it or wish I could change how her story ended. She died the way she wanted, as a heroine true to her principles." The Undefeated sighs, suddenly looking very old and tired.

Besides, the old ways were greater for our mobs. We had an entire great wwar on what to do with the loot from a giant sun bird! Some of us wanted a sword with the power of the sun, some wanted a shield with the versatility of the sun! We raged for months for that thing! Then we decided on neither and got a bitchin' jetpack instead.

"My wife was dead, a casualty of the war, and with my daughter gone after saving the galaxy from her own mechanical body and the young Orange Pekoe team disbanded, I was alone. I could have stayed on with the UJCIDF, like Muragi did and begged me to do, but I had no fire left, no desires. I was a relic, just another war machine worn down with rust. So I retired, and came to an out-of-the-way Belt colony to meditate, refine my martial arts as far as I could, and prepare myself for death. At least, until Domon found me, and then you. It must be fate." The old man smiles, but it's a sad smile.

"Wait a moment." Clemmy cuts in, "That's Major Ji Xifeng. She piloted NaNa-01. That makes you Gen-"

The Undefeated raises his hand, "I left that behind long ago. Now I'm simply the Undefeated, instructor to a wild beast and a tiger."

You've seen Space Avengers, though, "Wasn't Ji a blonde?"

He snorts, "Casting decisions aren't exactly made on physical resemblance, and I don't expect the media to accurately portray my daughter as the tough and independent woman she was rather than as a tearful peace princess in need of rescue. I don't care that they got it wrong, I remember the truth of the matter, and so does anyone who matters. You're well-informed though, girl."

Clemmy puts a hand on her hip and smiles proudly, "I was a SOUL pilot and trained a l'il with Colonel Stern, he talked about her once."

The Undefeated raises an eyebrow, and seems as if about to speak, then shakes his head and remains silent.

"What's an Orange Pekoe?" You ask.

"It's a type of tea." Clemmy says with a smile, "I learned all about tea from Rose, we wore fancy dresses and sipped tea and watched a play here on Auditorium. She said I needed culture." She frowns a little, "I get why she does all this, but it's dumb too, she's a really good pilot and could have been our third if you and me were a SOUL Squad."

The Undefeated clears his throat, "Well, during the War, when times were really desperate, the upper brass decided on a plan to train five ultra-elite operatives young enough for the enemy to underestimate. War orphans, adopted by the state and trained extensively from almost before they were old enough to lift a weapon." He shakes his head, "To tell the truth, I say operatives, but in a way they were more like terrorists. The War in those days was a bloody, bloody thing, a meatgrinder that turned our best and brightest into pulped flesh void-frozen by space or used as fertilizer for the bio-armor forests on the worlds ruled by the Green Men. They had other instructors, but for a time I had operational control over them and I was entrusted with their training in hand-to-hand combat. Roarke, could you pick up that picture on the mantlepiece for me?"

You walk over, and flip it up. It shows five young men, none of them looking a day over sixteen...and there's something uncannily familiar about one of them.

"I've seen him before." You point to the second boy from the left, your left, with his somber expression and swept-forward brown hair.

The Undefeated grunts, "So you have. Two of the Orange Pekoe team came to us from a Catholic orphanage. Josiah went back to the church when the war was done, but his best friend..." He takes the picture, and lightly taps the image of the boy standing next to young Lieutenant McAllister. He has a serene face, short, neat tow-blonde hair, and is dressed impeccably neatly. "His best friend, Alexander, lost his taste for fighting after saving a pretty Garron pilot from one of the Green Men."

Your fists clench so hard you hear the knuckles pop. "Alexander." It isn't a question, as you look more closely at the blonde kid.

"He gave up his dream of taking holy orders, married, and moved to Io. I understand that he died in an industrial accident." He shakes his head slowly. "I never thought Alexander Starwind would perish in an industrial accident."

>>637087

>>637088
So the way it seems now is that the accident was to make Alexander come save his wife and make sure he died, most likely because of all the secrets he knew/ Haman hating him

>>637106
he also has a thing for gun batteries that vaguely resemble mechs.
we get to fight Heavy Arms with our bare hands.

>>637112
less a thing we beat and more a thing we throw vegamite at until he calms down.

>>637098

It was one hell of a war. Consider who Duo turned into.

>>637113
I dont think haman would have tried to engineer the death of roarke's mother. Much of her anger seems to stem from her blaming roarke senior for leading his wife to her death.

>>637116
And now we know why Haman puts up with him. But since we know he's a super ace then our idea of him being the person the Jovians are saying is the first mate makes no sense

>>637112
Pfff, if we don't beat him first, the ROCK will.
>>637108
It was a great idea indeed....
...I think we should do it too!
>>637104
That's why the plot armor part is important, is what makes this plan functional.
>>637113
No... he was the target, Triple C got unluckly by being there when it happened, and Roarke's mom tryed to save him, what backfired in Fairchild face when she got killed too.
BAD ENDING TO EVERYONE.
>>637118
Don't even metion it near him, i think he is still searching for it since we got out of Earth.

So... if Roarke is the heir to his fathers experience... Does it make him into Tanikaze from Sidonia no Kishi?
(Without the clone part, obviously)

>>637119
wait, Duo's Sturn?
Jesus Christ

>>637121
But remember how she talked about making all these sacrifices for Sol, and she might not have even been the one behind it

>>637128
Wufei's the only vaguely asian looking one of the bunch, so I feel like he's Sturn.

my off the cuff theory is that Duo was [/spoiler]Galbadie[/spoiler]

aaaand I fuck up the spoiler.

Been a while since I did that. Time to commit robo-sudoku

>>637129
It was total war, she probably sacrificed a good part of her sanity fighting in it, doing things that had to be done.

Its how that grief and anger at the passing of roarke's mother comes across. That she still hasnt gotten over her death and blames roarke's father for being the cause of her death makes it very unlikely that she played a direct part in the trap, since even endangering roarke's mother would likely have been utterly repulsive to her.

>>637136
Wait.. weren't there 5 thoroughbred MPs? We found the one, Clemmy has the other, Galbady said he piloted one as well. So that means there are 2 more.

>>637133
Heero's Muragi. Oldest of the group and the best will of the others.

>>637143
nah, I see Heero being the one who died. Wufei's probably the guy piloting the punchy Paladin

I have a hard time seeing Herro going "For Justice and Peace!" or whatever Bluegill Joe's catchphrase was.

The resemblance is hard to see at first. When you think of your dad, you think of his glasses, or the stubble on his chin that he never seemed able to get rid of, or his big, rough hands tossing you into the air and catching you while he laughed in his raspy voice. You think of his admittedly rather parochial lessons on morality and the tenderhearted way he took care of your mother. You think of him teaching you how to tuck your thumb outside your fist to avoid breaking it when you hit something, and how to set your shoulders when you throw a punch. You think of his small, round glasses reflecting the light of the luminoglobes in the little house on an Io colony where you grew up. You think of the crisp white coats of the doctors, stained with blood, and Cassius' hollow voice as he forced himself to sit up on a hospital bed to tell you that mom and dad weren't coming home anymore.

You and Cassius knew all about mom's time in the military, at least the parts she was willing to talk about. Dad would always just smile and cite his age, just a little too young for military service, but he'd alluded occasionally to having trained for it like most of his generation.

"Liar..." You feel your teeth grind together as you growl the word.

"Roarke." The Undefeated's voice is as implacable as the boulder, "I know he didn't tell you. I knew that shortly after you arrived at this cabin, when you didn't mention him once. I won't say that he didn't deceive you, but Alex just wanted to live a normal life with Christina and his children. He was a solemn, unhappy boy when I knew him...but after he met your mother, he was the happiest man in the galaxy. After what we had all seen, that's all I wanted for him."

"Why didn't you tell me you knew my dad?" Your voice sounds a lot more calm than you expected, but you're not sure that counts for much and right now you don't care.

"Because you would have started comparing yourself to him and trying to follow in his footsteps. He and Josiah were specialists in stealth and black operations, your fighting style is completely different from his even though you both fight unarmed. To tell the truth, you've come a lot farther than he has. He only managed to unleash the void fist a few times over the course of his life." The Undefeated closes his eyes, "Many, many times I've wondered whether he should have been my protege instead of the one we lost, if perhaps I had trained him more closely things would have gone differently."

"Roarke..." Something soft and warm presses against you, and it takes you a moment through your blurred vision to recognize Clemmy. She pulls a clean hankerchief out of the pocket of her maid uniform and begins dabbing at your eyes, "It's okay. Everything is going to be okay. I'm right here." She hugs you tight, and you cling to her like a spar of wood in the raging ocean of blood-soaked fury and grief that courses through and around you. You'd thought you'd gotten over this.

>>637195
I dig it.

>>637195
eh, karens come up in the ranking I think mostly due to having more screen time than Lori. we'll see how things develop though.

All your waifus are shit. Eat my asshole.

Sam is my favorite mostly from all the Queen stuff, they are my favorite band. Even though I am not a fan of traps Clemmy would be 2, followed by Karen, Rosita and Fatima. Who is Lori again? I can't recall.

>>637190
I just fucking with you mate. Honestly I have no problem with you.
but I will never leave drill-princess alone. Never

4.Knuckle Kaiser
5.Knuckle Kaiser
6.Knuckle Kaiser

Karen does nothing for me whatsoever, and on top of that I find her kind of annoying. I would be her friend but I would never date her.

>>637197
Were you not here when it was just Karen and Sam? Thats when waifu wars got a little heated

It still kinda annoys me that Karen keeps getting shit on despite being the hardest working girl.

>>637216
I dont see any Grapple-Chan on your list, senpai

btw... since Lori's not included in the upcoming wedding... well even if she does join the harem she's always going to end up behind the others unless she gets a massive boost in popularity... but what could cause that...any idea's anons? I'd really rather none of the girls get left in the dust.

TRUE Waifu ranking list

1.Clemmy
2.Fatima
3.Lori
4.Karen
5.Rosita
6.Sam

The first three are extremely closely ranked.

>>637163
Out of curiosity Wong, are there any other companies that produce Mechs in the Sol System that aren't attached to Jupiter or Mars?

>>637221
Her upgrade is a free biocore for the Kaiser.

>>637220
She's a package deal with the Kaiser.

>>637221
Probably just an understanding with the other girls that despite her later arrival, the girls are equal except for head waifu.

Then again if things develop sufficiently that she leaves the avalonians before the wedding, she'll be one the same page with the others.

>>637224
I was thinking of creating one for the backstory of one of my mechs for the Tourney, but only if Wong is okay with that.

eh my ranking would be:
Clemmy
Sam
Fatima
Karen
Lori
Rosita

all are fairly close, for some reason rosita just doesn't do it for me even though I find her entertaining.
Clemmy's at the top cause if we only could have 1 i'd want it to be her, she needs the relationship the most and is goddamn adorable.

"Shhh...shhh...I know." Her fingers, so deft at striking at the throat or guiding a blade through a person's eye socket, stroke up and down between your shoulderblades, "It's okay to cry, it's okay." She smiles up at you, so soft and gentle, "I'll always be here."

You wordlessly squeeze her tight, and with a little "Oof!" She nestles close, her lips close to your ear, "So, this is what made you the way you are. He would be proud of you. I know he would." You go to speak and she puts a finger to your lips, "Nuh-uh. Deep breaths. Big, deep breaths, and when you're calm, talk."

You feel the rage starting to fade, "What did I do to deserve you?" You mumble, feeling a little silly. Yes, your dad didn't tell you the truth about what he did during the War. Yes, the Undefeated kept the charade going. At the same time, though, you can't blame either of them. They both had good reasons, and the Undefeated told you about your father himself just now of his own volition.

"Be the best boy." Clemmy says simply, with a happy smile. "With strong arms, a good heart, and a smile I want to keep safe."

Yes. For example, the RCC owns a majority share of a Lunar corporation that builds mecha named after birds. The Sparrow, the civilian transport that the Harpy is built off of, is Lunar in origin.

To be fair Drill Ojou's are fun to tease, anyway I just think it'd be nice if we dance with her sometime soon... or maybe she teaches one of the other girls to dance using roarke as a prop/ demonstration tool

>>637219

Grapple-chan is mai waifu and her alone, but I feel some sympathy for Karen because I know the sheer extent of the Herculean task that is having RED SIREN as a romantic rival when you have Caesar-tier social stats minus the Cool 10 mode.

>>637240
Oh that's some neat inspiration right there.

Now I'm wondering about the Name of the Corp. Seraph Corp? Garuda Industries? Simurgh Enterprises? Roc Conglomerate?

>>637251
I like Karen. She's always number 2 to me, but Sam is a rare treasure so she gets top spot.

>>637253

The fact that there's argument about who is best and worst, and that everyone is at least someone's favorite, is exactly what I wanted. Passion is one of the flames of a blazing spirit.

Gee willikers, fellow Anons, at this point I'm kind of curious who you think the First Mate really is. Any thoughts?

This is such great one liner that i may carry it for life.

>>637261
We don't have that on our mixtapes

>>637258
I think its Reccoca but the fact that their using the priest as her cover makes no sense, he's probably the better pilot of the two. And the Pilot has to be a woman since Dozel noticed her womanly hips

>>637258
Well, the one thats most obvious not wong is that secretary of hers we saw a few chapters ago. Her speech matches along with her profile, and the way she reacts to Caeser makes sense considering he 'scorned' her. Second one is the sabotage chick.

>>637258
That mechanic bitch who was hitting on Caesar. Triple C said there was something off about her and the pilot of the Harpy that is apparently remote controlling the S Slayers is a woman. Also, the person who killed CCC was a woman as well and the First Mate bragged about killing Roarke's brother.

>>637252

I...know how the word is pronounced, Aerie Industries? Eyrie? For some reason I'm blanking on the spelling.

>>637257
I don't remember lori being number one for someone, for example, i really like her, but i don't know her enough to make her BEST GIRL though.

>>637271

Huh, weird, I meant to put my trip back on.

>>637272

Lori's new, and a secret waifu, so that's understandable. Remember, she was the bonus boss for the stage.

>>637267
Its Beth, Fairchilds Aide. Their using Josiah because because no one knows how good he really is, and he is far better in front of the media. plus he can keep Jesus in line while the press are around, so thats a plus.

>>637276
I get the idea behind it, but the man they trained to be a murder weapon against Greenmen would be much more useful piloting a mech then some random woman. They could just put him as the pilot and he would do better and they wouldn't even need to fake that he's the pilot

>>637276
plus, it means that Slayer can do cloak and dagger shit ( working with the Skulls, for example) on her own and they can say that it wasn't Soul B, because Soul B was somewhere else.

>>637271
>>637275

Eyrie is a word, yep. I think I might make a Light Striker mech called the Red-Tail.

>>637281
You are assuming that he'd be piloting the Slayer and not the hidden 4th machine of SOUL B. The Slayer may use stealth, but it'd be better to call it a heavy hitter that can be sacrificed again and again. Pop into a vulnerable spot, take as many with you, and nothing bad happens. If the Priest is basically special ops, he'd likely be more melee than missiles.

>>637281
Alternatively, he refuses to pilot a Mech or participate in active combat for his own reasons. Maybe some oath he made after the War ended.

>>637281
He has his own mech, we just haven't seen it yet. there was mention of a S-Lionfish at some point or another.
That and Fairchild doesn't trust him. He is the best friend of Alexander Starwind, after all

>>637289
But then your saddling him with being the face of the First Mate so thats cutting into his spec ops time and that makes him a more noticeable figure since he's now in the spot light

>>637292
Speaking of Fairchild, when we encounter her next we should say something like "If my mother knew what you've done, do you really think she would forgive you?"

>>637295
Him being the face would work quite well though. He'll draw attention to all parties involved due to his past, and that means a altered S-Slayer could be used in the meantime to cause trouble. Hell, for all we know there may be 2 Slayers. the Remote version, and a more 'specialized' version for the Priest to use.

>>637302
As far as we know people don't know much about the operation, if they did we would know about what our dad did

Momentarily, you think about how lucky you are that you and her bumped into each other that first time on California Station. Saying that Fairchild doesn't deserve her is more than an understatement.

"Love you." You mumble.

"Love you too." She mumbles back.

"...I would offer to go outside, but this IS my house." The Undefeated remarks, and you and Clemmy disentangle yourselves from each other.

The back door rattles, Domon using the knotted rope dangling from the handle to pull it open with his teeth and slink inside. He lifts his head and sniffs the air, padding silently on huge, soft paws into the room with a questioning growl.

Clemmy spots him, "Hey kitty! Aren't you a big boy, huh? Did you scare poor little Karen? Yes you did~ Yes you did~ Hey!" She grabs the hamsterball off the table a split second before Domon's paw would have knocked it to the floor, and she hugs it against her chest.

Tigers are huge animals, though, and as he saunters over to her he only has to stretch his neck a little to sniff at the ball, leaving a faint double-puff of steam on the plasteel. The hamster squeals and does its best to run up the opposite side of the ball to get away from the curious tiger.

Clemmy's pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints. She leans down towards the tiger, her lips pulling back from her teeth, the whites of her eyes showing all around her irises, and she growls. It's a low, rumbling sound suffused with menace.

Domon abruptly scampers back, nearly rising on his hind legs in his haste to turn around and retreat to the garden, his ears flat against his head.

"Don't bully my pets!" Clemmy calls after him, cheerfully. "Wow, he's a really big cat. Rose really made him sound small and fluffy."

"He wasn't as big when I found him." The Undefeated points out.

"So, what happened to the other three?" You ask, picking the picture up off the table.

The Undefeated points at a short boy with a huge, cocky grin, vaguely Asiatic features, and a long braid, "Believe it or not, that little punk grew up to be Bluegill Joe."

You start laughing. You can't help it.

"No, I'm serious! He's the oldest of the group, not that you'd know by looking at him." The Undefeated insists. His fingertip moves from the young Joseph Muragi to the boy in the middle, with windswept hair and a determined look in his eyes, "Leroy Vinland. Leroy...he was the nominal leader of the team. Smart, confident, a genius with every weapon he touched. Instantly popular with the girls no matter how much he growled or threatened them. A bit bloodthirsty and rash, but Joe kept him in line. Deep down, both of them wanted the same thing, justice and peace. He could have been one of the greatest pilots in history, if he hadn't been killed."

Or maybe there's a reason to hide the real First Mate's identity from the public and they need a cover who can, when required, perform similar feats of ace flying.

Question on Mech Building: Do Arm, Leg and such Servos take up Space on the Torso? Or can you add as many as you like?

>>637303
No one normal, but military folks would. Especially the higher up ones. I could see his presence watched by any of them if they heard rumors of Fairchild having a assassin since he has a history. That would leave them open to another assassin using said mech. After all, I sure many of those retired generals and leaders didn't do so out of respect.

>>637310

Servos don't take up spaces, they give them, the restricting factor on how many you can have is weight.

>>637310
Oh and Wong, can you give a Quick rundown of the Shetland's stats?

>>637315
Crotch arm is a go.

By the way, I'm sorry about all the fluff and lack of meaningful decisions tonight, guys, this meeting with the Undefeated was doomed to be somewhat information-heavy. View it as the salad course before the soup that is the special training and the steak that is the upcoming facility raid.

>>637308
>Vinland.
Wait, isn't that Richard's last name? Richard had a cool dead uncle!

>>637308
so that make Wufei the traitorous disciple. surprise, surprise.

>>637326
Thorslund, anon

>>637322
No problem Wong, it's still delicious

>>637331
awww, no bonding points for us there. Swear that name seemed familiar though.

>>637329
No one is surprised by this turn of events. We'll probably see him in a mask and he'll keep saying we look familiar.

>>637333
That it is.

Wonder what's for dessert.

>>637309
INB4: Jesus and First Mate are test tube super soldiers from Luna.

>>637337
Well that didn't work well. One is a deranged sadist who indulges in cruel acts and showboating while claiming that they hold the high ground.

And the other is the First Mate.

And this one, B-" The Undefeated's finger stops over the last boy, and he cuts the name short. Lean but tightly muscled, like Joe he has features from ancient Terran Asia, but more pronounced. His hair is black as pitch and cut close to his scalp, "A traitor not worth mentioning. My greatest shame, and at one time, my greatest student. Of the five, he was my protege. It pains me to say it, Roarke, but in some ways the two of you are very much alike, particularly when you fight. Your father disliked weapons because they drew suspicion and made every fight more lethal, if he had the option he would rather accomplish his objectives without killing. This one...this one shunned all forms of weaponry because he viewed them as a crutch, a weakness, something that could be taken away. Personally, I now believe that he enjoyed killing with his hands. He betrayed the Orange Pekoe team and caused the events leading to Leroy's death before he fled the Solar System forever. Perhaps this is fortunate. Your father, Josiah, and Joseph were all determined to kill him, and in all this time I've had to reflect I fear that if they had one of them would have died. His interpretation of the Void Fist was heretical, dooming the practitioner to a life without loyalty or attachment to anything but the animalistic act of growing stronger. It made him a monster, but monsters are strong, and among monsters he is among the strongest."

"So I have to beat him." You've seen enough martial arts simflicks to know where this is going.

"No! Jove no, boy! I hope you never encounter him! If we're lucky, he's dead on some backwater colony, unmourned and unremembered." The Undefeated shakes his head vigorously.

>Title match between the Sisterhood Alliance and the Mug and Smug Connection

Winning team has Roarke for the weekend

>>637358
>Hes sealed on catgirl planet

>>637358
>And this one, B-"
I think we found Samson's pilot.

>>637358
oh great, he's Mecha Gouki.
> If we're lucky, he's dead on some backwater colony, unmourned and unremembered.
well, Avalon is a Backwater......

>>637358
"Were it so easy."

>>637358
I just had the sudden flashback to when Lori mentioned one of the other Paladins who fought bare handed and called him a monster.

>>637370
Yeah, and he had a B for the start of his name as well. Chances are he's got command armor, which is going to make him a bitch to deal with.

"Were it only so easy." You remark, then add despite your reservations about questioning the Undefeated's judgment, "Don't you think you're underestimating me a little, teacher?" You've seen enough simflicks to know that's normally an arrogant thing to say, but this isn't a simflick and you're Roarke Starwind.

"No. Not in the slightest. As I said, you're among the most promising pupils I have ever trained. More importantly, you're well-balanced, you're neither ruled by nor seal away your emotions, you're aware of your vices and all five...or however many of them you really have...of them help keep you honest. You're neither a slave to an ideology nor completely amoral. Most importantly, you love what you do. I can see it when you train, and I've seen it in how you fight. You're no blood addict, but you savor brawling. That's good, no matter how many simflicks propagandize the idea of the pacifist warrior, someone who disdains fighting will rust more quickly than someone who enjoys it. However, no, I am completely serious when I say that I hope you never encounter this man. Don't take this as criticism of your skill or potential, but rather a warning as to how dangerous he is and how profoundly poisonous his thinking is." The old man, for once, looks less than his usual confident self. It's a bit depressing.

"Master, are we still going to train today?" You manage a smile despite your recent bout of emotions over your father.

The Undefeated grins, and fetches down a bent, carved piece of wood. It's covered with tooth marks and one end is broken off, "Yes. This was my favorite backscratcher, but sadly Domon got at it. I want you to get me another one."

You blink. This is utterly not what you expected, "A...backscratcher? Alright, where do I find one?" Perhaps he's going to have you run to town with a backpack full of rocks on your back. Again.

The Undefeated's smile acquires an edge as grim as a guillotine, "On the other side of the mountain."

>>637380
oh, boy.
break out the Fosters and the Vegemite boys.
lets hunt us an Aussie!

>>637380
Well boys, let's go Croc hunting.
Where do we get some Fosters, vegemite, and whatever else calms an Aussie down at?

>>637382
The Aussie is on Auditorium?

>>637385
has been a while. Last time we were here there was a boomerang embedded into something. We may have to go wrestling.

>>637380
Aussie Bogon time. Also,
>>637372
Belegor is definitely him

>>637385
where do you think the boomerang came from?

>>637387
Well. Belegor is from Tolkien, I am reasonably sure. Weren't they a house of men who allied with elves? The pupil is a man, betrayed his people and then vanished. Suspicious.

So what song are we going to play while we fight the Aussie anons?

>>637392
Have we used Dio Holy Diver?

>>637392
only the sound of didgeridoos. The aussie version of showdown music.

>>637393
Not yet

>>637392
I have some ideas, what about you peggy sue?

>>637392
Waltzing Matilda.

We also need to point out that Waltzing Matilda is about a hobo who stole a rabbit and then drowned himself rather than face the law.

>>637392
Hells Bells
Thunderstruck
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep

>>637393
Dio is special.

>>637398
>>637397
>>637396
Remember anons it has to be on one of our mixtapes

>>637393
Save that for when we fight some RCC.

>>637401
Play em again sam. Not Sam sam though. But seriously I need to see the list again haha.

Here you go

Incidentally, this concludes our session for the night. Tune in tomorrow at the usual 8:30ish EST where Roarke will face the most savage being on Auditorium.

>>637387
Then we better get some of the biggest fists for our bits when the time comes then, because either we want him to purge his out armor fast, or we want him to lose an arm faster.

>>637407

Either Maniac or Rebel yell. I mean come on.

>>637408
Thanks fo running!

>>637410
You assume it's a mecha fight anon. This is gonna be a barechested volcano fight.

>>637411
We used Rebel Yell when we destroyed the Martians that protected Fatima's ship

>>637397

A sheep, actually, if I recall correctly. Upwards of half of all Australian folk songs seem to revolve around stealing sheep or being killed by the police after stealing sheep.

>>637408
Thanks for running we all look forward to it.

Eye of the Tiger

Quick point of order about music, you don't have the Knuckle Kaiser or its speaker systems with you.

...but it would probably be a good idea to keep a song in mind for fighting Bruce Kelly in a mech just in case.

>>637420
We have our pc, we can blast the music out of their. We did it when we were punching the sand.

>>637420
So...I'm right about barechested volcano fight?! awesome!
